Well, sh!t... must be siesta time. I'll just tip-toe back out.
Sorry, saw a facebook sidebar for a big model train shown this
weekend in Edison, NJ. just navigated back.
If you like model trains, have you ever been to Northlandz, north of Flemington on Rt. 202?
I like model trains, but I have found that the opinion of
the husband/father is not necessarily that of management
in my house(or in the car near Flemington either!).
I did propose we go once, but was quickly outvoted 2 to one.
My Dad and youngest brother are into trains. All I can say is, no matter what scale/gauge you prefer, it still takes up a shitload of room in a basement.
I don't have any trains but like watching them operate, they are really neat I think.
I inherited my late FIL's trains. Have them all carefully packed away because I've never had a room to set up a layout. Some of the trains came from Germany right after the war. I'm told they're collector pieces.
some of the scratch built brass pieces can be worth thousands. Heck a $90
die cast engine add on from Lionel from the 60's is close to a thousand now. that's when a
complete plastic locomotive set with transformer used to cost around $30 dollars.
